הערכה

The piece argues that approaching elections are already constraining IDF operations across multiple fronts, from Gaza to Lebanon to the West Bank. The claim is that political calculations are paralyzing military decision making, with soldiers facing restrictions against Hamas, lowering their profile near Lebanon, and leaving illegal outposts untouched. The core question is whether operational effectiveness is being sacrificed for political convenience, and whether this dynamic will intensify as election day nears.
